Hi! 👋
I have been captivated by nature ever since my childhood, when I first began exploring the trails of the Alps. The complexity of nature is immense, and we have only scratched the surface of our understanding of natural ecosystems functioning.
When examining a species community, diversity is often measured in terms of species richness, but it can also be observed through the lens of species functional strategies, known as functional diversity or species phylogenetic history, know as phylogenetic diversity.
The main characteristic of my research so far, is to lead a multidimensional approach of diversity, considering not only taxonomic diversity but also functional and phylogenetic diversities, to study the impact of human activity on ecosystems. I’m also interested in developing new methodological approaches to better assess ecosystem functioning. I have studied different taxa and scales which has led me to be more motivated by the research question itself rather than by the taxa it applies to.
I’d love to hear from you, you can find me online using the links on the left!
